That picture of "How I met your Mother" with the girl in sunglasses, "8 seasons passed. Still no sign of mother!" ROFL. So true! That alone, made my day :)
I find dramas like this rather refreshing. Like the good girl is a little bit bad, and the bad girl is a little bit good. Do I actually like the fact she's playing with his heart? I might sound a little evil, but YES. It makes it more interesting. It makes the story more complex, which having watched so maannny uncomplex stuff, I could do with right now. Remember, complex characters are the best :D

Hi. Who do I contact if I want to write an article? I will be honoured, and delighted to write a piece about child actors, and how they impact dramas?
Episode 3 is deeply upsetting. Did that girl get raped? I didn't see anything, but having her dragged out of shot, Jung Woo's very powerful reaction, like he was seeing something really terrible & he was powerless to stop it. Her jumper being half ripped off, and just the mind boggling way he LEFT her. Like he couldn't cope. And then when he saw his dad, he said "That bastard.." and kinda choked. Like he couldn't bear to say what he did. I need people to confirm if they thought the same thing! Wow. What a heavy topic to tackle?
Am I the only one that don't agree with the choice of Park Shin Hye as the main role ? I don't hate her but I…
She was a very good child actor. She plays the younger version of the female lead in Stairway to Heaven, who gets abused by her stepmum, and I felt her pain throughout the 5 episodes she was in. Park Shin Hye can act, there's no question. It's just her "adult" roles, usually have her still playing the kid :/
I prefer bad-guys. You know why? Because it's hate at first sight. The characters will have to evolve, to love each other in the end. Nice guys belong in genres OTHER than romance. Like action/thriller/fantasy. Because then you have a sub-plot, that disguises how many hours they spend, repeating "I love you" back & forth. If you think that sounds nice, find a camera, and record yourself for 20 hours straight doing just that. It will quickly become boring.
Some people are really not liking the 2 guys kissing. Honestly? That's what convinced me to keep watching, and I'm liking it so far! The haircuts? Park Ki Woong is the cutest I've ever seen him. No Min Woo is a lot hotter than that, but I feel his hairstyle suits his character. Same with Hwang Jung Eum. I honestly feel the plot (so far) is strong enough to cover their horendous costumes. I never did manage to finish the original (yawn) and FH2 is VERY different in that regards.
Before dramas came along, I didn't even know South Korea existed. Well I did...but only because it was the only country in the Beijing Olympics that were split into the "North & South." I remember thinking "I bet there's beef between them" & moving on with my life.
Dramas are cool. I do get irritated with them but they fill a special niche.
Americans are obsessed with sex, drugs, falling off the rails. Bollywood are still casting pretty young things, with older, slightly less good-looking men with dated song and dance numbers. Which is fun...but until a short while ago, there was NO KISSING.
And then there's J/K-drama. Young actors. Not full of sleaze. It's so full of innocence it moves my jaded heart. Nobody can compete with them in this field. And although I do hope plots are improved, there's less "flashbacking", & consistent writers are drafted in...they are onto something neat.
I find Jan Di to be annoying at times and she made me really dislike the character.
You mean the actress "Goo Hye Sun" made you dislike the character? I have to agree with you. But I also think, despite the iffy portrayal, Jan Di was actually an awesome character. She does everything the blogger says, and more. It's true. Not many girls would be able to stand up to such focused scrutiny/bullying and walk away, relatively normal.
The first 3 episodes were so amazing. The whole unique selling point was that she was a ghost, until they took…
Oh cheers omnichelle. For having my back :) But Brigicz does have a valid point, and I'm not watching it^^ However a clear emphasis needs to made, that a person shouldn't be crucified for having an opinion different to yours. I am a mature young adult, and will like to think you are too. So yeah. Basically echoing my buddy up there ^^^^
The first 3 episodes were so amazing. The whole unique selling point was that she was a ghost, until they took that away, and made her human :( Then it became your average Midsommer Murders, with Lee Jun Ki as PC Barnaby.
I admit, when I first started watching k-dramas everyone looked the same. I couldn't tell you the lead protagonist from a random extra lurking in the background. But I have "sensors" now: and I'm prepared for the "They all look like girls" comment everytime (although I do secretly agree). I brush it off with a :"You don't know what you're missing." I'm actually the friend who was "converted" by my other friends. It was like watching my favourite cliches come to life. No other market caters for this!
The first 3 episodes are very good. A little confused about Eun Gi "loosing her memory." It looked like she was cushioning him to her busom in the ep 4 preview, without any amnesia involved. And how hot does Ma Ru look in black? Is he the guy, who played the gay character in SKKS?

49 days was the stand-out drama of 2011, purely because everything else was cr*p :) No, I jest. It's an awesome drama, and watch out for the Scheduler *drools* and unexpected ending. This show had great cliffhangers! That's what kept me watching O.o Lol, I'm entering university this year for a degree in Primary Education. Crazy, right? Me around little kids? Ah well- it's my calling in life. Right behind, a Fanfiction Writer :)
